It seems even veteran film composer Hans Zimmer might have had his surfeit of comic book adaptations, admitting that the score for Zack Snyder’s Superman vs Batman is ‘creating a problem’.

Zimmer previously worked on the soundtrack for both Man of Steel and the Dark Knight trilogy, and now faces writing music for the collision of the movies’ protagonists.

‘It’s creating a bit of a problem in my head right now,’ Zimmer told Collider. ‘Quite honestly, I’ve gotta sit down with Zack and have a chat with him about what he’s trying to do because what I don’t want to do is go back to that well.

‘It’s a different Batman; Christian Bale and what I did with Chris [Nolan], that needs to have its autonomous life. I don’t want to go and now appropriate that and put that into the other Batman.’

Ben Affleck’s casting as Batman has seen fierce criticism, but Zimmer backed him in the role, saying that he thinks the Argo director will make ‘a great Batman’.

‘It’s really quite simple, the man isn’t a fool and he’s not gonna set himself up for a fall,” he said. “He’s a great filmmaker in his own right, he really is… I think he’s become a much more astute actor and I think he’ll make a great Batman, I think he knows exactly what he’s doing.

‘So do I think it’s a good idea? Yes, I think it’s a good idea. I think he’s a great casting.’

Superman vs Batman will also star Henry Cavill and is set for a July 17, 2015 release.
